STANDARD PARAMETER OF 800 KV CLASS TRANSMIISSION SYSTEM IN INDIA

PREFACE
Earlier in the year 1990 Central Electricity Authority (CEA) brought out a report detailing parameters of the 800 kV class
equipment and transmission line material based on the recommendations of Working Groups constituted following the
decision of Government of India to select 800 kV (with 765 kV as the nominal voltage) as the next higher AC
Transmission voltage in the country. Following this, a good number of lines were identified at this voltage. Though some
of these lines have been installed maintaining 800 kV class parameters, they are being operated at 400 kV level for want
of adequate power development. Accordingly associated substations continue to be at
400 kV level.
But with the initiative taken to have electricity for all by the year 2012, coinciding with the end of 11th five-year plan,
now it is a near-reality to charge the above mentioned lines at 765 kV and construct few more intra-regional and interregional lines at that level with a dozen or so number of substations. Keeping this in mind and the progress that has been
further made and as experienced in few countries that have this class of transmission system, it was felt necessary to
revive the Standing EHV Committee of CEA with representations from leading power utilities and manufacturers in the
country. As per order of Ministry of Power it was reconstituted in the year 2000. A few meetings took place for revising
the salient parameters of 800 kV class of equipment and transmission material and reviewing those for 400 kV level
through separate groups. The present report is an outcome of the deliberations in the meetings and inputs received from
the members concerned. It is expected that the contents would serve power utilities as the basis of design and engineering
of 800 kV transmission system in the country.

* These are the values suggested in IEC- 815, 1986, which is applicable to System Voltage of up to 525kV. As the
pollution withstand characteristics is known to be non-linear for higher voltages, requiring increased creepage distance in

proportion to the non-linearity factor. Studies by ENEL, EPRI, CIGRE suggest that this factor may be as high as 20% for
800 kV System. Hence creepage distances presented in the Table are to be appropriately increased. Further, these values
may not be suitable for station insulation since the influence of diameter is considerable on the pollution performance.
